Photographic supplies. Advertising here at the end of 1909, when the firm had a branch in Roubaix [Nord, F] (Le Courrier de l'Escaut, 25.12.1909). "The only firm in the Tournai region able to offer such a large selection of cameras and accessories. Laboratory and portrait studio with electricity at the disposal of amateurs" (Le Courrier de l'Escaut, 12.6.1910). "Speciality of positive slides for projection" [Mertens & Rozez, 1912]. Maurice Geiger was the manager and operator here; photographs in his own name and this address exist. On the occasion of his wedding to Octavie Françoise Roussillon (see that name) in Roubaix [Nord, F] on 19.10.1909, Maurice Raphaël Geiger was recorded as a photographer, native of Nantes [F] and domiciled in Roubaix.
